What is an enzyme?
A type of protein that changes rate of chemical reactions
Chemical reactions
What does an enzyme act on?
Substrates
<
What factors affect enzyme activity?
Temperatures that are extremely high or low & the pH balance.
Degree
What are the phases of the cell cyle?
Interphase, mitosis, & cytokinesis
Three
What controls the cell cycle?
Proteins called cylcins attach to enzymes to activate control of the cell
Cyclins
In which phase do the sister chromatids line up down the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
Second phase
What are sister chromatids? [Be able to draw an example]
Sister chromatids are two pairs of chromatin joined by a centromere.
Pair
What structure holds sister chromatids together?
Centromere
Center
What is the longest phase of the cell cycle & what happends during this phase?
The longest phase of the cell cycle is interphase, when the cell has rapid growth & DNA synthesis.
Rapid growth
What occurs during prophase?
Chromatin begin to coil up
Coil
What is cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides after mitosis to complete the cell division process.
Division
What limits cell growth?
As the volume of a cell grows more rapidly than the surface area, therefore a large cell will have less surface area compared to the volume.
Surface area/volume
What stage do chromasomes split apart by the spindle fibers?
Anaphase
Third phase
What limits cell size?
Diffusion limits cell size.
Where do light-dependent reactions occur?
Thylakoid
Uses pigments
Where do light-independent reactions occur?
Stroma
Jelly-like fluid inside the cholorplast
How does ATP store energy?
It stores energy in chemical bonds between phosphate molecules.
Bonds
How does ATP release energy?
It breaks the bonds
POP!
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6C0[2]+6H[2]0 ---> C[6]H[12]0[6] + 60[2]
carbon dioxide + water = sugar + oxygen
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C[6]H[12]0[6] + 60[2] ---> 6C0[2] + 6H[2]0
Sugar + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
What are some ways that living things use energy?
Living things use energy to do everything, even breathe.
Everything
In respiration, what is the final e-receptor? (electron receptor)
Oxygen
Breath
What pigment in plants traps sunlight?
Chlorophyll
Green
What is adenosine diphosphate made of?
It has one adenosine molecule & two phosphate molecules bonded together by NRG.
Three molecules
What is the main purpose of the calvin cycle?
It makes sugar
Yummy
True or false: Glycolysis occurs in both animals & plants?
True
T
What is a gene?
A segment of DNA that directs enzyme production
Enzymes
In what organelle does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
Green
What are some causes of cancer?
Some are environmental like cigarette smoke or air & water pollution, others are just in your genes, where either too many are produces, they are produced at the wrong time, or the wrong kind are produced.
Type, number, time
What is the difference between aerobic & anaerobic processes?
Aerobic requires oxygen, which anaerobic does not.
Oxygen
In what orangelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
Red
Name the three stages of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, Citric acid cyle, ETC
Glycolysis
Where does glycolysis occur int he cell & what does it produce?
It takes place in the cytoplasm, it produces 2ATP molecules, 2NADH molecules, and pyruvic acid.
Three things are produced
Where does the citric acid cycle occur in the cell & what does it produce?
It takes place in the mitochondria & it produces 2ATP molecules, 6NADH moelcules, 4C0[2] molecules, & 2FADH[2] molecules.
Four things are produced
Where is the ETC & what does it produce?
It is in the inner membrane & it produces 32 ATP.
One thing is produced
What is most of the ATP produced during aerobic respiration
Electron transport chain
Needs oxygen
What happens if there is no oxygen available in the cell for ETC?
Fermentation
Needs no oxygen
What are the two types of fermentation?
Alcoholic & lactic acid
Drunk & acid
What type of fermentation occurs in humans?
Lactic acid
Acid
What type of fermentation do yeast cells use?
Alcoholic
Drunk
